Ok, judging by the feedback and the fact that it is the next in rotation, Busse will be the location of the first event. 10am start time.

I don't believe there will be time to run 3 classes but, if you want to bring your C1's to play around on the course it would be interesting to see what they can do at Busse.

There is 2 different types of CA to use for tires. The first is a quick set standard CA that is used to spot glue to get your alignment right. After that has dried,use black rubberized CA (I use IC 2000) to fully cover and fill the cuts. Then turn the tire inside out and fill again. This glue take about 45 seconds to dry so you can work with it. Some peopl use just the rubberized, but it is much easier to use regular CA to spot glue and there is no loss of flexibility. I will try to do some pics of the narrowed Mashers I have for my Willys tomorrow.

Well I ordered a set of 1.9 mud tires but they are soo going to rub on my front leaf springs. That is unless I cut the steering ratio on the remote lower. 2.2s would just be overkill I think.

As far as pictures go, you will see it Saturday =) its pretty wrecked and rusty.

damnit! I wish I could order some of those 1.9 CAC/gearhead beadlocks and have them before sunday. I want to mount my cut & shuts but, all I have is 1.9 steelies and they hate proline beads.
Trey gave me one of his 2.2 steelies with aluminum adapter to fit proline beads (I think CHUD makes them) but, I haven't had time to come up with a 1.9 version yet.

I guess I'll have to save those cut & shuts for next time then.

Not clod buster body although I am working on it. The body on my rc4wd is the yota shell. Made custom steel bumpers and skid rails.

Also ordered the 4link suspension for front but leaving rears leaf spring. Its hard to get traction right now with full leaf springs all around.
